B.C. adventurer looks to protect oceans with technology

She's accomplished a number of amazing feats in her life, not the least of which was rowing across the Atlantic. But B.C.'s Julie Angus has taken on a new challenge, helping protect our oceans. As Kylie Stanton reports, the Vancouver Island resident hopes to do this through cutting-edge technology.

The first woman to ever row across the Atlantic from mainland to mainland is now developing cutting-edge technology to help protect the world’s oceans.

From her small backyard workshop, Julie Angus is in the process of designing autonomous boats that harvest energy and collect information in real time.

“Basically, any information you need from the ocean, these boats may have the potential to collect it,” said Angus.
